A friction pad assembly comprises a backing plate (1) having friction material (2) secured thereto, and an anti-rattle spring (4) having a bent portion (5) intermediate its ends, the bent portion seating in a recess in the backing plate (1). To avoid problems caused by heat when the spring is held in place in the recess by the friction material and located before heat bonding of the friction material, the recess is accessible to secure the spring to the backing plate after the friction material is secured to the backing plate, the bent portion (5) being retained in position in the recess by its own resilience. Two recesses in the form of undercuts (7, Figs. 1-4, 9) in an upstanding portion (8) or recesses (11, Figs. 11-12, 13) in portion (8) may be provided. Recess may also be formed by a hole 11 (Figs. 5-8) in backing plate 1 or by a recess (9, Fig. 10) or recess (18, Fig. 14) in upstanding portion (8), and details of the forms of these various recesses are given. <IMAGE> |
